Zoisite (ゾイサイト, Zoisaito) is the third of the Shitennou to be introduced.
Nomenclature and Etymology[]
Zoisite's name, as in the other versions, is derived from the mineral his name is based on.
Appearance[]
Unlike the anime and manga, Zoisite had white hair and wore an almost completely white uniform with long sleeves and gloves.
Personality[]
Zoisite was the Shitennou most interested in his past, and often played a piano in an isolated room of the Dark Kingdom. Playing the piano seemed to stir up memories of the past not only in himself, but anyone who happened to listen, including Mamoru and the Shittenou. He was particularly adamant in requesting the other Shitennou, Mamoru, and even the Sailor Senshi all recall their past lives; his purpose in doing so was to prevent the Earth from falling to tragedy.
He was also more patient and reflective than in other versions, willing to share various techniques he learned with the others. He was also loyal to Prince Endymion even though Queen Beryl attempted to suppress his will.
Information[]
In the live-action series, not only was Zoisite's appearance and uniform drastically altered, but his personality was as well. He was much quieter and more subdued than his prior incarnations. However, unlike Jadeite and Nephrite, Zoisite is more obsessed with protecting Prince Endymion, rather than take orders from Queen Beryl.
Zoisite is the third of the Shitennou to appear. He appears briefly in Act 6 but makes his formal appearance in Act 7. He plays the piano, and can use his music to teleport or link to targets, including Sailor V, who he is very interested in finding - Queen Beryl gives him the task of killing her. Later on in the series, Beryl tasks him with killing Sailor Moon in an attempt to reverse the same fate that Princess Serenity brought on them. Zoisite would eventually betray Queen Beryl by protecting Sailor Moon from a Youma powered by Metalia. In the process, he's injured terribly and asks Sailor Moon to forgive him. Before dying he plays his last musical note, trying to encourage Jadeite and Kunzite to save their prince and leave Beryl.
Powers[]
Most of Zoisite's powers came from the piano he played, and he was able to perform several feats with them.
Zoisite was able to "project his soul" to Japan, which allowed him to fight without physically leaving his piano room; in his projected form, Zoisite seemed to display the same powers he had in his normal form, though he was more vulnerable to powerful attacks, and his form was stopped by Crescent Beam. He also taught Nephrite and Queen Beryl this ability, who once fought the Sailor Senshi in this manner as well.
Zoisite was also able to conjure a melody which would erase princesses from existence, causing real people to die as well as depictions of princesses. However, this was thwarted thanks to Sailor Moon.
Zoisite was able to conjure energy blasts to throw at his opponents, and also showed the ability to teleport away if needed.
He also demonstrated (as all the other Shitennou did in this version) the ability to return to their crystallized forms when weakened; afterward, they would return to life after some time passed.
Zoisite was very skilled at playing the piano as well, and seemed able to play new songs with little difficulty; he also wrote his own occasionally. Not all of these were shown to have some power or effect, though most of them did seem to stir the memories of the Shitennou and Mamoru.
